Joy

Around Christmas 2008, a volunteer with Phoenix Animal Rescue came across puppies being given away in the parking lot of a shopping center. She took the four remaining puppies and asked Phoenix Animal Rescue to take them in. We named them Merry, Joy, Jolly, and Cookie.

We love to get updates on our dogs and we recently received this update on Joy, now named Zoey:"Here are some updated pictures of Zoey (Joy before we renamed her). She won our hearts immediately and has been a wonderful addition to our family. She and Moose are the best of friends and play from sunup to sundown even sharing a bed at times. Our older dog Dixie Chick is happy that Zoey and Moose have each other so she can have her nap times uninterrupted and stay out of the action.

"The photo of them on their blanket is not staged. We were on vacation at a beach house a few weeks ago when this occurred. Zoey likes to be close to Moose and actually likes to reach out and touch him when taking a nap or just relaxing. Otherwise, they are playing tug a war and rough and tumble whether they are inside or outside."She is not yet a year old and has been with us since the end of January and we couldn't be happier. I will send some more follow up pictures in a few months. She is about 50 lbs now, as laid back as possible, yet very inquisitive, and only protective when she really feels the need. I would love to see pictures of her littler-mates if any are available.

"Thank you for adding such a "joy" to our lives. Maybe we shouldn't have renamed her after all. :)" Jeannie

Thank you Jeannie, for choosing Joy to be part of your family and for the fantastic update!
